Czech Rail Distances

[37038]

Morning all,

Bit of a novice at trains abroad so needing some assistance!

Currently on Ex531 to Český Krumlov from Praha hl.n. Can anyone advise on the distance from Praha hl.n - Český Budějovice and also Český Budějovice - Český Krumlov please

Thanks all

Praha hl.n. is at km 185.8 on the route from the Austrian border at Česke Velenice.
Veseli where the CB branch goes off is at km 55.2, and CB is 37.7 km down the branch.
So that makes Praha-CB 168.3 km.
CB-C Krumlov is 30.8 km.

Here are links to the route details (in German, there are Czech versions too):

You might find this site useful, bits of it are in English but not IIRC all. However, it only does distances to the nearest km (like the timetable .pdfs), if that bothers you.

PS. thanks LNW-GW Joint for the wikipedia links.

The cd.cz site itself should give distances when you are making a booking (in the train selection part). They're in km, so just convert them into miles.

Cheers both, great help!

If you want more detailed distances, you might want to invest in Volume 4 of this series of books:

For those of us who aren’t competent on Bookface, how do you go about ordering? Got the Swiss one a few years back and definitely recommended.

The best thing would be to drop the author, Stuart Clarke, an e-mail to check on availability, pricing with postage etc - I won't post his address here to ensure it doesn't get picked up by spammers, but if anyone needs his contact details, please drop me a PM and I will provide.
